Hasegawa 1/72 Chilean F-16D "Peace Puma"
I saw this beautiful Chilean F-16 built by George Johnson a few years ago ((link)) and decided I had to build one myself (in my scale). I secured a Hasegawa Sufa as the base kit, and finally found some decals from TwoBobs on ebay (out of [...]
1/72 M1B1 Abrams MBT
So there was a proposal to up gun the Abrams in the late 70s, add an auto loader, and change the drive train to a diesel. There are a number of images and drawings floating around the web and I decided to build one. So behold, my take on [...]
1/48 Bristol Blenheim If.
This is the outstanding recent Airfix kit. It’s highly detailed, well engineered, and is a pleasure to build. I started this one late last year and it assembled very quickly with no problems. The only thing I added was a set of Eduard [...]
TF-51 Mustangs in 1/72
Going small 🙂 This is the first time I've built a 1/72nd scale fighter(s). Tiny! The Little Witch was converted from the Tamiya kit, and Miss Velma is the AIrfix kit. I love them both, they both build up in to fine models. The AIrfix [...]
Every landing is a crash landing! Airspeed Horsa Mk.I, Operation Tonga, 6. June 1944

Here's Airfix's relatively new-tool 1/72nd scale B-25 Mitchell.
This was built out of the box as a mojo-restorer and what a cracking little kit it was! It goes together beautifully, is crammed with detail and was an absolute pleasure - [...]
Revell 1/72 Avro Shackleton – WL747 "Florence" 8 Squadron RAF Lossiemouth 1979
This one was personal.
We used to get most of our AEF at Lossiemouth when I was in the Cadets and whilst this was mostly Chippie based, one glorious summer Sunday we got a long flight in this Grey Lady.
Still one of the most memorable [...]
F-16A IAF ‘Netz’ – ESCI 1/72 Fighting Falcon
Just completed last night. this ESCI kit #9026 was initiated a long time ago and was put in storage with the fuselage and wings assembled.
Pulled out of storage, I worked on the build and paint on and off the last few months.
I decide to [...]
1:72 E-75 Ausf.D Panzer WIF
I had the modelcollect 1:72 E-75 and wanted to upgun it to 128mm based on images I'd seen online. I found a barrel on ebay and got to work in Fusion 3D to make a new Turret. I printed the turret via Shapeways and bashed some of the [...]
